Effect of Combined 68 Ga-PSMAHBED-CC Uptake Pattern and Multiparametric MRI Derived With Simultaneous PET/MRI in the Diagnosis of Primary Prostate Cancer: Initial Experience.
AJR. American Journal of Roentgenology 2018 June
OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study is to assess whether temporal changes in 68 Ga-prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA)-HBED-CC uptake and multiparametric MRI parameters derived using PET/MRI can aid in characterization of benign and malignant prostate lesions.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: Thirty-five men with 29 malignant and six benign prostate lesions undergoing complete clinical workup including histologic analysis were enrolled for this retrospective study. All had undergone simultaneous whole-body 68 Ga-PSMAHBED-CC PET/MRI. Prostate Imaging Reporting and Data System version 2 (PI-RADSv2) assessment was made using a 5-point scale showing the likelihood of cancer with the combination of multiparametric MRI findings. Gallium-68-PSMA uptake was recorded at two time points: early (7 minutes) and delayed (54 minutes), adopting a copy-and-paste function of the ROI defined on MR images. ROC curve analysis was performed to test the diagnostic accuracy of early versus delayed PSMA uptake (measured as maximum standardized uptake value [SUV]). A multiple-ROI analysis was done to obtain ROCs for combined PET SUV and multiparametric MRI datasets. Spearman analysis was performed to assess the correlations.
RESULTS: There was a significant difference between early and delayed PSMA uptake in malignant prostatic lesions (p < 0.01), which was able to characterize prostate lesions with an AUC of 0.83 and 0.94. Combined ROC analysis of PI-RADSv2 category derived from multiparametric MRI and differential PSMA uptake in characterizing prostatic lesions improved the AUC to 0.99.
CONCLUSION: Dual-phase PSMA uptake improves accuracy of classifying malignant versus benign prostate lesions and complements multiparametric MRI in the diagnosis of prostate cancer.
